Kusudama flower and Fancy JaneI've always been fascinated by origami. I can fold a few simple things -- a fish from a dollar bill (pull its tail and the mouth opens and closes), a boat, cootie catchers... And I've also folded a few things by following step-by-steps from books. You have to wonder, whoever came up with this stuff!?!? It's amazing that someone would have the forethought/sight to visualize what a piece of paper could become if folded this way and that.
I folded this Kusudama flower by following a tutorial I came across here. It was actually very easy to do -- the toughest part was gluing the petals together!
Side note: I always smile to myself when I see fellow artists selling their wares with the disclosure "made in a pet free environment." I think there's a little more love in a piece of art when there's a cat hair or two included. [wink] Fancy had to be on my work table this morning, leaving little room for folding.

I love the flower and I love my cat. :)
P.S. I'm eating the scrawberries you made me this morning and they are the bomb. Thank you! :)
Wow, this looks fabulous! :) I've always wanted to give origami a shot. I really should..
Love the flower! I am smiling because I totally agree with you on the 'pet-free environment'. How cool can a person be if they don't have any pets!?
Okay, I give up! Anything you can't do??? Very cute!!! xo
I love that you chose paper with words on it. I just love the look of it. And I can't imagine doing much of anything without my dog nearby. I'd be so sad.
